index-update

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of turning “already read” notes and chat logs into a structured, layered long-term knowledge base so you can retrieve better answers later.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Archives read inputs safely: Moves read notes from _new/ to deep/ and chat logs from _chat/ to deep/ without overwriting existing files.
• Extracts and organizes knowledge: Extracts multiple discrete knowledge items and stores them into memory/ under the correct category (Factual / Procedural / Conditional / Metacognitive) using index navigation.
• Updates persona conservatively: Detects explicit persona-related requests from user messages and updates persona.md accordingly before extracting knowledge.
• Layered index for fast retrieval: Uses memory/memory-index.md and each category’s _local_index.md to update or create keyword entries efficiently.

Quick Start

Run /index-update to archive all marked-as-read notes and chats, then extract and index new knowledge into your layered Obsidian memory vault.
